SUMMARY:PONS VAROLII - Concert
DESCRIPTION:MãoSimMão is pleased to invite you to the world premiere of P
 ONS VAROLII\, a work by pianist and composer Simão Costa\, featuring vide
 o by filmmaker Mário Melo Costa\, which will take place at Teatro São Lu
 iz\, in Lisbon\, on 18 and 19 July 2026.The piece proposes a unique dialog
 ue between the piano\, the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa\, and the aco
 ustic landscape produced from the metal grid of the 25 de Abril Bridge\, t
 ransforming it into musical material and challenging the boundaries betwee
 n classical music and acoustic ecology.Inspired both by the architectural 
 archetype of the bridge and by the structure of the human brainstem — th
 e Pons Varolii — the work celebrates the imperative need to create conne
 ctions between riverbanks\, territories\, and forms of listening. It not o
 nly evokes the exercise of freedom\, in the year in which Lisbon's iconic 
 bridge celebrates its 60th anniversary but also celebrates World Listenin
 g Day.\nTeaser: https://youtu.be/hTbr0hI5YjQ\nEnglish information: https
 ://www.teatrosaoluiz.pt/en/performance/pons-varolli/ \nCo-produced by Sã
 o Luiz Teatro Municipal\, the project will be presented in the Sala Luís 
 Miguel Cintra\, bringing together Simão Costa on piano and the Orquestra 
 Metropolitana de Lisboa\, conducted by Pedro Neves\, with video by Mário 
 Melo Costa.We invite the audience to remain in the theater following the p
 erformance for an open talk with the artists on Saturday\, July 18th. \n
